Yep, though I don't remember ever seeing him at centre in Academy games.

As mentioned earlier, Hull have big strong backs so I would also be putting Isa at centre to help out Marshall defensively. Would like to see Ganson get a run off the bench, he is highly rated and only one injury away from being needed anyway, plus Gregson only came back from a long injury with a run off the bench last week didn't he? Bit of a step up to go from that to running out in a depleted squad against one of the best teams in SL.

FB 22 Escare
RW 36 Davies
RC 3 Gelling
LC 20 Isa
LW 35 Marshall
SO 6 Williams
SH 7 Leuluai
P 8 Nuuasala
H 16 Powell
P 17 Tautai
SR 11 J.Tomkins
SR 24 Bretherton
LF 10 Flower

S 15 Clubb
S 23 Gregson
S 26 Navarette
S 33 Ganson

Unless Ganson is used as a back- rower it's a waste of a bench spot, since Powell has proven time and time again that he can play the full 80.

That's great until he starts getting burned out or (god forbid) he gets injured and Ganson is suddenly thrown into having to do 80 mins himself, having had 0 SL experience prior to that. Better to bed him in now IMO, we saw with Murphy what happens when you neglect reserves in key positions - they are suddenly required in big games against top opposition. I really don't like the idea of throwing Gregson out there so soon after a big injury either, he should be getting match fit in the academy.

Ganson can do a spot when Powell needs his weekly head bandaging. I do not see why he doesn't wear a scrum cap.

As if by magic, we don't give Ganson a run until we are forced into it, now it looks like he will be playing the full 80 against the 3rd placed side having debuted last weekend
